Even Game of Thrones Can’t Stop Calling Jon Snow “Pretty”

In a recent interview, Kit Harington reminded us, once again, that he’s more than just a pretty face. “I dislike the word ‘hunk,’” he said. “It’s a fucking ridiculous thing to be referred to as. It’s like calling a girl a ‘babe.’ It’s frankly offensive.”

This isn’t the first time Harington has raged against his “hunk status.” In March, he told Page Six that being reduced to a heartthrob is “slightly demeaning.” “I’m in a successful TV show in a kind of leading man way and it can sometimes feel like your art is being put to one side for your sex appeal. And I don’t like that.”

And yet, viewers cannot contain their lust for Jon Snow. (Even Zadie Smith is guilty of it!) But the guiltiest party of all? Game of Thrones. More than most of the females on the HBO show, the newly minted Lord Commander is always being called out for his beauty. In the most recent episode alone, he was called “pretty” twice. Below, all the times that Jon Snow was objectified for his looks on Game of Thrones.
